ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – With a new month, comes a new cold case Albuquerque police is asking the public to help solve.

In this month’s Duke City Files, police are trying to solve a nearly 5 year old homicide. Antonio Gomez was shot and killed near Gibson and San Pedro in October 2018.

Police say he and a friend were skateboarding to a Subway restaurant. At one point, Gomez fell behind and that’s when a group of people came after him. Police say someone in that group pulled a gun. 

Gomez’s father says his son was an athlete and artist. He hopes someone will come forward.

“Have a little courage. Just a tiny bit of courage to come forward and give anything that really will help give us relief,” said Santiago Gomez. 

Detectives believe the shooting may have been over a small amount of drugs, but they need more information.

If you know anything about the murder of Antonio Gomez, call Crime Stoppers.
